Remote Interface Configuration
This section gives information on configuring the instrument for remote
interface communication. For more information on configuring the
instrument from the front panel, see “To Configure the Remote Interface”
starting on page 46. For more information on the
SCPI commands
available to program the instrument over the remote interface,
see chapter 5, “Remote Interface Reference” starting on page 179.
HP-IB Address
Each device on the HP-IB (IEEE-488) interface must have a unique
address. You can set the instrument’s address to any value between
0 and 30. The address is set to “9” when the instrument is shipped from
the factory. The
HP-IB address is displayed at power-on.
You can set the HP-IB address from the front panel only.
• The address is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not change
when power has been off, after a Factory Reset (*RST command),
or after an Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command).
• Your
computer’s HP-IB interface card has its own address. Be sure to
avoid using the computer’s address for any instrument on the
interface bus. Hewlett-Packard
HP-IB interface cards generally use
address “21”.
• Front-Panel Operation:
ADDRESS 09
